Disgruntled African National Congress members took to the streets on Monday in protest after the news of Thoko Didiza's nomination as mayoral candidate for the 2016 municipal elections. The members claim that branches were not consulted in the decision to nominate the National Executive Committee member for local government structures.

702's John Robbie spoke to Matsena regarding the issues around the protests in the capital city.
